You can probably get from a google - and I've been told it 4. Would you mind sharing why you want one and why you want to pay privately? [ Reply | More

Yes, it costs that much; yes, it's totally worth it for the info you get about schools and for a report that works for both the SN schools and the DOE. (212) 263-6168, or David.Salsberg@nyumc.org. If those don't work I have his pager number (which is on his card). [ Reply | More

May I ask why you went in the first place? Did school send you? did you noticie something on your own? Did you agree 100% with what he said about dc? Does he tend to exaggerate to get benefits? Does he take the teachers word as gold? [ Reply | More

Well, my child has autism and we went because it's just what you have to do to get your kid into a decent private SN school in New York and also get funding from the DOE. I really did agree with his report and felt that he got at my dc's intelligence, strengths, and weaknesses in a way no one had ever done before. He did not exaggerate, but he did write the report quite carefully. Not sure what you mean about the teacher's word? [ Reply | More

I'm sure he is worth it especially if you are looking for a SN private spot. I'm told he is the one to go to if hoping to get a private acceptance. However if that is not what you are looking for imo there are other psyches that cost a lot less and good. We saw Lillian Fernandez and she was a fraction of the cost of Salsberg. [ Reply | More

My ds's evaluation with Dr. Salsberg cost $3,600. He was wonderful and really "got" ds and the kind of school that would be right for him. I was able to get my insurance co to reimburse me for half of it (including the $500 deductible), but I had to really fight the company to do it (got my employer's HR dept involved). In reimbursing me, the insurance co wrote that it was a "one-time exception". [ Reply | More
